GSP says it's time for Nick Diaz to 'walk the walk'

GSP is very excited about figthing Nick Diaz. Now, he probably didn't punch his best homeboy in the liver and light up a blunt to celebrate the announcement like the entire city of Stockton did, but he did tell the Canadian Press all about his excitement in a recent interview.

"I know Diaz, the way he is, he's the kind of guy I'm happy to fight. I like fighting guys who are not easy like this, that have a kind of warrior spirit."

"I don't know him as a person but he's a very exciting guy to watch. I'm happy to fight him. He's going to bring the best out of me, because he's always putting on a good fight, going forward. It's going to be a good fight for me."

"I'm excited, because it's been a long time he's been talking about me, saying like he's the best, he was saying I was avoiding him and stuff. But I never avoid anybody. Now it's time to walk the walk. It's going to be a good fight."

That last part was a little bit of Stockton gangster coming out of GSP, I think. Although he has to be sure to clarify what exactly he means when he says 'walk the walk' to Diaz. Nick might read that and go all westside and break out some Crip Walk footwork on him this October. [source]

GSP is right. Nick will finally get tested. While I admire and enjoy Nick's fighting style, his recent opponents are not even close to top 10 caliber (with the exception of Daley).

Diaz: Daley, Cyborg, KJ Noons, Sakurai, Zaromskis, Scott Smith, Shamrock, Thomas Denny (who?), Muhsin Corbbrey (again, who?), Inoue, KJ Noons, Mike Aina.

Compare to GSP: Shields, Koscheck, Hardy, Alves, Penn, Fitch, Serra, Hughes, Koscheck, Serra, Hughes, Penn, Sherk, Trigg, Mayhem.

I think Diaz is in for an ass-whooping.

its about them vs each other, not any1's subjective comparison of past opponents.

GSP is the one who will really be tested! He doesn't avoid fighters, (since Serra) he avoids the fight. Diaz will force him to stand or take him down early when GSP doesn't want to i.e. early & not against the cage and with little time left in the round

If GSP wins, it'll be his safest, point scoring win to date, far from an "ass-whooping" and it'll be back-to-back apologies to the fans for his performance.

OK, but the styles are a much more pertinent issue in this case was all I was saying. Generally, using such an opponent analysis is apt.

So don't watch him fight. DW has always said if you don't like the fights on a particular card then don't f..king but it. Don't like GSP? The absolute greatest, most well rounded fighter there is, then don't f..king support him by watching him fight.

That is the most ridiculous thing I've ever read. Obviously you must be from N Cal Stockton area, huge Diaz fan. Just remember this. Bias does not win fights and only makes one look silly in the end. I love Nick as a fighter and a person BUT he does not do well with great wrestlers, 5 of is 7 losses were from wrestlers who are not even close to the caliber of GSP. Also note of the 3 mutual opponents they have both fought GSP is 3-0 Diaz is 1-2. As far as opposition is concerned Nick certainly has not had near the same level of competition as GSP. Even 4 of the last ten fights Nick has had have been against lightweights.

Nick is a game fighter and I think he will come with guns a blazing and force GSP to fight, and it will be a great fight. Even Nick admits GSP is the best WW in the world and that's why he wants to test himself and fight him, because he feels he can win. However to say that Diaz is taking a step down in competition is just foolish. What happens then IF your beloved Nick Diaz loses? Does that mean he lost to poor, less competition? All that does is make look even worse if he should happen to lose. Gsp is a GREAT fighter, so is Nick. Just enjoy the fight and see what happens. The funny thing is ... if GSP does win by dec. (MOST LIKELY SINCE NICK HAS AN AWESOME CHIN AND WICKED SUB DEFENSE) People will complain that GSP didn't finish again. That is so dumb doesn't it just mean that Nick is a great fighter who is tough as nails. If Nick wins by Dec. everyone would be happy as hell and it wouldn't matter.. Can you say hypocritical?

it'll be interesting for sure. historically Nick has had trouble with strong wrestlers, but he hasn't faced one in a long time and may have improved his td defense.

the big question for this fight is can GSP take Nick down and, if so, can he keep him there without getting subbed.

i seriously doubt Nick can take GSP down, but on the feet it'll be Diaz all day and GSP will be forced to clinch and go for the td.

LOOL St Pierre can't box with Diaz, I remember when you all were slandering Shields striking skill (which in all fairness is possitively ghastly), but as soon as Shields began to light up Georges face, everyone was saying Shields is a much improved striker.
Stop it! GSP is a bad boxer!
its these hours of countdown shows and primetime episodes that has led us to believe this facade that protrays George as an Olympic level boxer

Using PacMan to validate Roach's training to mma fighters?!

First, either the majority of things imparted to Arlovski & GSP are lost when making the conversion to MMA and/or the tips are minimal i.e fine tunings that arent affected by the conversion ex. turning over punches, outside footwork etc. The breadth of effect the boxing training had on Arlovski was to simply further have the fast & tall athlete, "fight tall" (movement and reach) and yet that still didnt yield him tagging Fedor. W/ GSP, the speed & explosiveness he already had is what mainly enabled the jab. You'd think training from Roach would accentuate it via having the jab (a setup punch) actually set something up!

Secondly, I bet you the majority of their time is spent w/ another wildcard coach, probably Alex Ariza... or maybe even Buboy Fernandez, LOL!

Hit the nail on the head, not proud to admitt but watching GSP hit the pads as fast as he did had me under the illusion he is a great striker, even if he is, he not proven, whereas Nick jus knocked out Daley, and him scrambling for takedowns

Don't forget about Nick out boxing Robbie Lawler...

Think Nick has a great chance over 5 rounds. Gsp will have to either cut him or go for late round takedowns and alternatin standing/guard gnp to win.

Diaz was stopped on cuts in the first Noons fight and didn't look much better in the rematch. Noons a true boxer showed far superior boxing skills and not a true WW. If Diaz still cuts easily he will look a lot worse than Koscheck.

Luke Manno is 100% correct. GSP avoids the fight. He scores points, that's all he's interested in doing. Then when he wins by decision he apologizes about how he won. He trains like a warrior, it's too bad he doesn't fight like one.

How exactly does a warrior fight? I'm under the impression that warriors fight to win.

So if an army if knocking at your door, would you say, "Win or lose, let's put on a good show."; or, "Fuck everything. Our livelihood is at stake. We must do whatever it takes to win."?

I'm going with the latter.

GSP is making more money and will most definitely have a longer career.

Kos vs gsp broken orbital needing surgery. In what round 1 or 2? (obviously at least 50% vision loss)

gsp still landed f all besides jab

GSP ys Shields Barely black eye(acted like shot like above says) and Shields started getting more punches in(he probably didnt even come close to loosing 10 percent let alone 10 percent left)

kos had one eye, not really any technical striking ability or defense(has power) and guess what, your so call p4p champ couldn't even drop him.....

Very sad statement considering the nut huggers gsp has.

Personally i like my fav fighters to be born and bred. In there blood. Not and athlete thats training mma, makes game plans to totally avoid others strengths and take zero risk at all.

If George wins UFC will have to change start time to 7pm so fans can stay up through gsp yawn fests

couple questions.....

If GSP were to win, is there any possible way it wouldn't go 25 min???

If you put Nick Diaz in the cage with anyone for 25 min do you think he wont get any punches in or any chance to grab a limb or choke a mother f_&^er?

You think GSP has a chin?
Does Nick?

Can GSP handle damage( shields had him acting like he was shot)?
Can Nick?

Does GSP have more power the Daley?

Is there any threat at all of GSP subbing Nick?
Can Nick Sub GSP?

GSP via wet blanket(makin a baby with Nicks Leg)

Or

Nick via Reality check!!

BJ Penn has better better boxing and BJJ than Diaz and he had know chance. He KO'd Matt Hughes in 21 sec. Diaz Vs Diego should be what we're getting. More important question, what's the value of the Strikeforce belt once he loses?
